Personal Note (from Ah Chong)

Rick Dom has always been about presence — heavy, aggressive, and intimidating.

This GQ version keeps that spirit but modernizes it in a smart way.

What I personally like here is the no-parts-swap high-mobility transformation. It feels very “playable” in a good Gunpla sense, and the wired electromagnetic Harken adds a lot of character when posing. This is not just a recolor or nostalgia kit — it’s clearly designed with motion and action in mind.

If you enjoy posing your kits, or you’re building a GQ lineup, this Rick Dom fits right in as a solid, expressive unit that looks good from almost any angle.
